Flibanserin (BIMT-17; BIMT-17BS) is an orally active serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist and 5-HT2A receptor antagonist with K i values of 1 nM and 49 nM, respectively. Flibanserin binds to dopamine D4 receptors with an K i value of 4-24 nM. Flibanserin shows anti-depression and anti-anxiety effect, can be used to hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) research [1] - [5] .

Cell Viability Assay [1]
| Cell Line: | NHSF cell lin |
| Concentration: | 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μM |
| Incubation Time: | 72 hours |
| Result: |
Resulted cell viability reached to 97.91% (DP1) and 96.73% (DP2) at 0.01 μM.
Showed non-toxic up to 100 μM (IC 50 >100 μM). |
Flibanserin (1, 10, 30 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) shows different pharmacological properties in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and midbrain. The 5-HT1A receptor occupancy in cortex indicates it’s the more sensitive than other brain region
[2]
.
Flibanserin (15, 45 mg/kg; p.o.; twice a day; 22 d) preferentially activates the brain regions belonging to the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway and hypothalamic structures involved in the integration of sexual cues related to sexual motivation
[3]
.
Flibanserin (5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/kg; s.c.; single dose) has anxiolytic effects without locomotor side effects in rat ultrasonic vocalization model

| Animal Model: | Long Evans female rats (225-250 g) [3] |
| Dosage: | 15 mg/kg; 45 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Oral gavage; twice a day for 22 days |
| Result: |
Increased the density of activated catecholaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area but not in the locus coeruleus.
Increased Fos expression in the medial preoptic area and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, ventral tegmental area, locus coeruleus, and lateral paragigantocellular nucleus with chronic 22-day treatment. |
| Animal Model: | Rat pup ultrasonic vocalization model of anxiety [4] |
| Dosage: | 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Subcutaneous injection |
| Result: |
Reduced ultrasonic vocalizations in rat pups.
Showed effective within 30 min and has no severe locomotor side effects at active doses. |
